Yippee! That's fantastic! And I really mean that-- debt is such a pervasive part of our lives now that having it is expected and the norm. To be debt free (well, nearly, anyway) is a serious accomplishment. We're working on that too as something to get done in 2008. You should go celebrate--just don't buy anything expensive, LOL.

It's sad, actually, the way this current age focuses on materialism. Hey, I can be materialistic too, but not to where it controls my life. Meh, I think my brain has had a lot of free time since I've been home with the flu to mull things over. Mad Scientist alert! I really came back to tell you that maybe just a *teensy splurge* is well deserved. Damn materialism!

I think a teensy splurge is inevitable at this point! But I still have a fairly long list of photo related gear to buy.. actually, it's a short list but high-end stuff, probably around $10,000 or so. It's more in the "want" category than the "need" category, thankfully. As my business makes enough money to pick up the remaining items I plan to do so.
